The Good Old Days

If you’re reading this, then we probably don’t have to explain to you what a Walkman is. Introduced in 1979 in Tokyo, the Sony Walkman was the first mainstream portable music device. It retailed for $150, weighed 14 ounces (compared to an iPhone 5 today that weighs about 4 ounces), and really revolutionized how we listen to music. In the following clip from Fine Brothers Entertainment, several young kids (most of which are under the age of 13) are given Walkmans and then are asked several questions about them. As expected, hilarity ensues; see for yourself!
